Reb Antman z”l, was a regular at the Capitol Hotel for Pesach over the years, where a number of us had the privilege of sharing a table with him for many meals. As for family, I had the opportunity once to have lunch with both Reb Antman and his daughter. Their devotion to one another was palpable…to witness them spending time together was heart lifting. Reb Antman, always with a smile on his face, a niggun on his lips, and a love of life in his heart and soul, will be missed by many: relatives, dear friends, and even occasional acquaintances like myself who were lucking enough to know him.
